> 24.44.190.85 resolves as ool-182cbe55.dyn.optonline.net and not to > b-dub.org. Yes this is the IP address that is assigned to my by optonline my provider So I assume that is why ool-... comes up in a whois? > What do you mean with "change my DNS ... for b-dub.org to > ww2.b-dub.org:9000"? First, you can not define ports in DNS zones, > second, I do not see any ww2 A PTR entry in your DNS. Since I use a non-standard port I added a web-forward entry to my DNS so that whenever someone asks for b-dub.org they are forwarded to http://ww2.b-dub.org:9000 the actual DNS A record is ww2.b-dub.org 24.44.190.85 If you dig ww2.b-dub.org you should see that it points to 24.44.190.85 Sorry about the half-@$$ed explanation earlier Thanks for you help in this, Johnny Poston
